Tom Kennedy

Dart's got the arm talent Kennedy never quite possessed—the kid's operating in a completely different era with better coaching and a functional offense around him. Kennedy appeared in six games for the '66 Giants during their catastrophic 1-12-1 season, throwing seven TDs against a league-high 31 interceptions from the entire Giants QB room. Dart's already lapping that in terms of decision-making and accuracy.

Kennedy's not in Canton, and frankly, his résumé doesn't warrant it. One season, six appearances, one start in the infamous 72-41 shootout against Washington where he threw three picks in the first half. The Hall's got standards, and a cup-of-coffee career in a historically bad Giants season doesn't clear that bar, no matter how memorable that single game was.

The search results don't provide information about Kennedy's current activities in 2026. Given that Kennedy passed away in 2006, he's not actively involved in business, broadcasting, or charity work. Any answer about his present-day involvement would be speculative.

Kennedy's 13.6 yards per attempt and 7.5 TD-to-INT ratio suggest he'd struggle in today's pass-happy NFL. Modern rules favor precision and quick decision-making—his three-pick first half against Washington would be exponentially worse against contemporary defenses. He'd likely be a career backup or practice squad casualty, unable to process the complexity modern offenses demand.

Manning's 59.81 rating dwarfs Kennedy's 7.82—it's not even close. Eli won two Super Bowls and spent 16 seasons as a franchise cornerstone; Kennedy threw for 748 yards in one season during a dumpster fire. Manning's a Hall of Famer trajectory; Kennedy's a footnote in Giants misery.
